Pixel Trivia!

[Anim8rDude]

Good eye! It was released in 2002 for the GameCube. And no, it's not either of those

I knew it was a cube game a mile away! Unfortunately I rechecked all the odd ones (that I was familiar with) like Lost Kingdom or Mystic Heroes but none of them lined up. It just looks more Phantasy Star Online than anything & that's the tricky part. You guys really are good at this haha.

 

[Tonberry]

I'm going fucking nuts.
That minimap thing looks extremely familiar, but I looked through the entire wikipedia article for GCN games from 2002 and I still come up empty handed!

Well, but it IS Lost Kingdoms

I'll consider your answer correct even if you discarded it, let's not make anyone else go nuts xD
After all, if I don't acknowledge that as correct, how can anyone else answer it?

YOUR TURN!

YOUR TURN!

OH MY GOD FUCKING THANK YOU
I looked at lots of screenshots but I didn't see the map anywhere!!! It was the one I considered the most!!!

Here's mine! The bottom right censor bar is just a website watermark, not a game element.

It's a shot in the dark, but is this Jade Cocoon 2?

Well, this is embarrassing...
I quoted @Anim8rDude since he mentioned (and discarded) Lost Kingdoms, hehe.

We'll have to find a way to "refund" him his turn

 

[Tonberry]

Ah shit, my bad!
I saw the notice and must’ve misread it as a quote and got excited haha.
Of course it’s @Anim8rDude turn, ignore my outburst lol, I got tunnel vision from checking the wiki too hard.

 

[Anim8rDude]

God damn it I'm dropping the ball a lot lol. I'm feeling the exact same way as Tonberry, because it felt like Lost Kingdom, looked at the screenshots, didn't see the map, then also discarded it.
I don't have anything lined up yet (but I really should) so let's just continue with Tonberry's one... which admittedly is another title I'm unfamiliar with.

Sorry about that!

I’ll pop some clues to this one since I basically stole my slot (sorry again)!

• It’s a PC-exclusive Japanese indie game
• It released in Japan in 2006 but had a worldwide release on Steam in 2011
• You play as two cute girls
• The game features 2.5D graphics where the world is 3D but the characters and monsters are 2D sprites
• It’s made by a team that has made a MUCH more popular game than this (but it’s still pretty niche I’d say)

Aw FUCK, is this a Dept. Heaven game?

Thanks for the bump, but I’m afraid you’re incorrect!

A-HAAAAAA! It's Chantelise: A Tale of Two Sisters, isn't it!?

 

[jankusanagi]

I was convinced that the UI fonts looked a lot like the GameCube...

 

[Tonberry]

A-HAAAAAA! It's Chantelise: A Tale of Two Sisters, isn't it!?

CORRECT!

I’ve played this game exactly once. But for SOME reason I bought it on Steam when it was brand new. I have no idea why.
It looks kind of cozy though, now that I look at in again!

 

[Gorse]

I knew it! That was one of the earliest games I ever saw on Steam, and it always looked really good to me. I got there via the Recettear hint, of course.

Now, try this one on for size:

The IGN logo isn't part of the game, of course, but this image hasn't been edited beyond that. As always, officially-released title, hint at 24 hours, answer at 48.

This is what my dreams look like.
It’s like ten different core memories combined into an amalgam of a video game.
Is that a stickman in the middle?

Can't give a hint until 24 hours have passed!

I swear, I just become illiterate the second I open this thread.

Absolutely no clue, but... bump!

The way we've been playing so far you can give a hint if 3 wrong guesses happen before 24 hours have passed. With that said I have no idea what this could be, it looks like some flash game.

 

[Anim8rDude]

Bingo. Marker Man Adventures. The biggest hint was actually the IGN mark.
Then tried my luck & googled:

First one:

 

[jankusanagi]

Mwahahaha, @Anim8rDude now has 2 turns in a row, or something...

 

[ATenderLad]

This ones strictly gaming related, I don't see any harm in moving it.

Thanks!

In that case, @Anim8rDude you're up!
